More injury woes for ex-Pat Wheatley

Cornerback Terrence Wheatley, a 2008 Patriots second-round draft choice now with the Jaguars, was placed on season-ending injured reserve today (hamstring). It is the latest health-related setback for Wheatley, whose New England career was derailed by a string of injuries.

Wheatley seemed to be coming on in 2010 Patriots training camp when he sustained a foot injury. He still made the team coming out of camp, but was ultimately waived Nov. 6 when the team made room for the return of Logan Mankins.
